Her parents tried giving her medication, took her to speech therapy, and sent her to many different doctors. Nothing has made their lives easier. Desperate to try anything that could possibly help; They decide to learn more about an alternative healing method, called craniosacral therapy, which they heard about from a friend.

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle and safe method of touch therapy used to reduce symptoms and improve behavior in people with autism, ADD, ADHD and other learning disabilities. In the early 1900s, William Sutherland became fascinated with the design of the human skull. . He believed that the bones of the skull moved relative to each other. Through his own experiments, he was able to sense a certain rhythmic movement of the cerebrospinal fluid, which he called the craniosacral rhythm. (1) Based on Sutherland's work, John Upledger, an osteopathic physician, studied the cranio-sacral rhythm in depth. From 1975 to 1983, he continued to work middle of paper...... against a wide variety of mental, physical and behavioral disorders. It is performed by a trained professional who uses light touch to locate the craniosacral rhythm and create more movement in areas of the body with restrictions. This can increase the functioning of the central nervous system. In people with autism, craniosacral therapy does not cure the disorder, but it can reduce symptoms and associated behavioral problems. This therapy can completely relieve the symptoms of a person with ADHD, ridding them of the entire disorder, in most cases. In order to further prove the effectiveness of craniosacral therapy, larger-scale research and studies are needed. By making people aware of the effectiveness of this therapy, it could be used to help many people reduce the symptoms of their illness and improve their lives..
